Little Architect - Archi Mates - 630 pieces

Inspire creative thinking and inclusive representation in your learning environment with the Little Architect - Archi Mates - 630 Pieces construction set. Designed to promote imaginative play and collaborative learning, this engaging resource allows children to build a wide range of people using versatile and colourful building bricks.
